Little Lambros-Victor, son of Pola Roupa and Nikos Maziotis was born on the 24th of July and saw his father for the first time after a successful hunger strike by Nikos Maziotis, which was backed by Kostas Gournas and many prisoners from all over Greece also by hunger strike.
Since then Nikos visits Pola and their son every sunday in the female prisons of Koridallos.
Lambros-Victor was named in honour of comrade Lambros Foundas who was killed as a member of Revolutionary Struggle, and Pola's father who although did not say much was a saboteur during the nazi occupation of greece, was shot by army police in his village cafe, had to flee to athens and later was in Makronisos.
(Makronisos was where many people who had fought to liberate Greece from the Germans during World War Two, met their fate at the hands of their countrymen, tortured and killed because of their political beliefs. The men who lived and died here were the first victims of the Cold War)
The photo was taken on July 28th , when Lambros-Victor was just 4 days old.
